you know I'm bored when I start making up tags so I can post pics. so, did someone mention that it's #TentacleThursday? probably not, but here's some #critters with #tentacles from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
#JBCPhotos #nature #oceanlife #animals
here's a set of well-known #pollinators, those busy little #bees, for #InsectThursday
#JBCPhotos #nature #bugs #insects
well, I already did the #WaterfallWednesday tag so this will have to be #WetWednesday with some pics of Niagara Falls, which is absolutely a vacation destination.
#JBCPhotos #nature #waterfalls
the upper section of Montgomery Creek Falls as seen from the bridge over the creek
lower section of Montgomery Creek Falls. trust me, it keeps dropping, I just wouldn't stand on the edge to look straight down. I didn't want to be a Darwin Award contestant. I am hoping to see a higher flow hit that wedged boulder this winter.
Potem Falls on Potem Creek near Round Mountain, CA as you hike down a narrow 3-part switchback to reach the base of the 70' falls
Potem Falls on Potem Creek.
for the last day of 2024, I took the Navigator to see a couple of #waterfalls off Hwy 299 near Round Mountain, CA for #WaterfallWednesday. they aren't actually vacation destinations like Burney Falls, but they sure were ripping.

more & more I find myself actively looking for #texture pics in #nature because of a photographer I knew from that other place. his name was Jack K & he left way before the exodus. I wish he was here in Bluskiville.
anyway, #TextureTuesday
#JBCPhotos
I hope you all enjoyed the garden tour around the SF Bay area & my #floral eye candy.
anyway, to change the subject, I wanted to say that 'I've looked at #clouds from both sides now, from up & down & still somehow', #LemaRanch is a magnet for them.

good evening. well, to my surprise, the sun came back out after that torrential downpour earlier, so I went & clicked a couple of hundred pics of #scenic #scenery stuff over at #LemaRanch for #ScenicSunday
#JBCPhotos #nature #landscape #clouds
being that it's Saturday, I get to share more pics from #LemaRanch with a set of #sunrise pics for #SunriseSaturday
#JBCPhotos #nature #landscapes #reflections
time again for those super sporty #surfers #surfing #surf at #SteamerLane. 1 time a surfer ask several of us taking pics if we were getting good pics. we all said yes. I asked if he was a shredder, he said no. I said prolly no pics of you, then.
#JBCPhotos #sports
my sincere apologies! I lied again.
here's more #dahlia #flowers for #FloralFriday
well actually it's a case of sorry, not sorry. dahlias are just too pretty to go unseen.
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
well that took longer than I expected. drove back in the raining darkness. my absolute favorite combination of conditions. well, maybe not.
how about more #dahlia #flowers to end my evening. yep, Dell grown for #FlowersOnFriday
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
gotta leave in 30 minutes. let's call it a #parade of #dahlia #flowers since that's all I'm posting. again from the Dell for, uh, #FlowerFriday, I guess.
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
might as well make it a #dahlia trifecta, with another set of those colorful #flowers from the Dell for #FridayFlowers
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
if I was the little drummer boy, I'd be like, "Come, they told me, pa rum pom pom pom..."
here's more #dahlia #flowers from the Dell for a #FloralFriday
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
hi, folks. gotta 6 hr r/t drive today taking the Navigator for an annual checkup. in the rain. yay.
at least I can share a few #flowers from the Dahlia Dell for #FlowersOnFriday
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
I think #TarantulaThursday sounds appropriate for this set of much-too-large-for-my-liking #spiders.
in Sept-Oct at the Pinnacles National Park, there are thousands of #tarantulas roaming around during mating season. you'll see them whether you want to or not.
but not these.
#JBCPhotos #bugs
I'm not fond of them at all & they're not even #insects, but I'll still post a set of #spiders for #InsectThursday. ick. I picked black bg's to remind you that you could very well walk face 1st into one of these in the dark...
#JBCPhotos #nature #arachnids
& #JustBecause the last set of #flowers wasn't enough, here's another from my wanderings #hereandthere while looking for #blooms.
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
hi, folks. oh how thoughtful, the Dismals stopped in again to visit. I guess I'll have to share some pics today. here's #flowers from #hereandthere to start the day of returned items for #ThursdayFlowers.
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
from the San Jose Rose Garden, here's #roses for #RoseWednesday
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden #flowers
well, I got the cash for her gift, but it took 244 photos b4 I made it home. it stopped raining so I went to the lake.
I failed stick drawing but always wanted to be able to paint artistically so best I can do is painted pics from Brandy Creek for #RockinTuesday
#JBCPhotos #nature #landscape #rocks
Agave blades
patina on a copper fencepost top.
a spiderweb on a tree
Japanese Maple in fall colors.
but I got to go get that cash, so I'll leave you with this set of #textures for #TextureTuesday
#JBCPhotos #nature
hi, folks. last minute shopping anyone? not me. I find that cash in her stocking is quicker.
here's some #flowers from the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum for #ChristmasCheer & #TuesdayFlowers
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden
Leavitt Meadows and the West Walker River. the tall peak at the left is Mt Emma.
high Sierras from Hwy 395
Lake Tahoe & the Sierras
Rose Creek once flowed into the Stanislaus River before it flooded under the New Melones dam. this is the view from the confluence. it was a magical hike up this pristine place. RIP Rose Creek.
how about some #scenic #scenery stuff from around #California for #MountainMonday
#JBCPhotos #nature #landscapes
being an old river guide & canoeist, I love being around #rivers, #creeks, #streams, & #waterfalls. basically #water flowing downhill over rocks. I have been taking my daughter, the Navigator, on trips to see as many as we can find in northern CA. from Hwy 3, #ScenicSunday
#JBCPhotos #landscapes
who else likes #orchids? these are from the SF Conservatory for #SundayFlowers
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #garden #flowers
hi, folks. happy Sunday! mr & mrs dismal are still here & rudely brought their kids as well. like drunk guests that don't know when to leave, coz I wanna go take pics.
well, I have #orchids today from the SF Conservatory of Flowers for #SundayYellow
#JBCFlowers #JBCPhotos #nature #flowers #garden
I got a few #sunrise pics from #LemaRanch to share for #SunriseSaturday
#JBCPhotos #nature #landscapes #reflection
I was looking through my other #surfers #surfing #surf pics & found this 4 click sequence of a guy doing a 360. he catches air & spins 180, then surfs backwards, then another 180 to finish the round-about. timestamps shows all 4 in 1 second. blink & u missed it
